ARTICLE: RTO Hypothecation Removal Process - Step by Step Guide

This is a discussion on ARTICLE: RTO Hypothecation Removal Process - Step by Step Guide within On owning a car, part of the Team-BHP Advice category; I submitted my hypothecation removal on may 25th at the Andheri west RTO, I have still not received the new ...

Yea, I did it directly, now I am wondering if doing it through an agent was a better idea. I do have the acknowledgement, will wait for a few more days and visit them on Saturday.

Saturday is typically very crowded - take a half day's leave on a weekday and you will be in and out much faster. Sometimes they process it but don't notify you so that it will be lying with them till you collect it.

With an agent he will check back and get it when it is issued - that is part of what he gets paid for.

I had been delaying my visit to the RTO
Took hardly 20 minutes at the office.
The officer told me I will get my RC/SmartCard on August 30th (I went had gone on 29th July). It also says in my acknowledgement that 30 days from the booked date that I will get the SmartCard.
This tread is a saviour!!

today is september 7th and I have not got my card back. Should I be worried? Does going to RTO help in anyway? I heard somewhere they do not hand over to individuals. So is there any value add in going physically to the RTO?

No hurry - you have an acknowledgement slip that they give you, which you can show to any cop that flags you down.

That is valid for up to 3 months. Sometimes there are delays in their getting RC cards printed from their press. Check back in a week or two and see if that works for you.

Steps (These are the ideal steps. I outlined my mistakes at the end even after reading the thread):

* Go to the main building and visit window 15A (the one to the right, smaller queue)
* Show the officer the documents. He will verify, staple your photo and tell you to visit the senior officer (Mr Sawant at the time of this visit) who has his own cabin. Stand in line outside and wait your turn.
* He will verify your documents plus ID and sign on the document. He will also ask you to sign and give your thumb impression.
* Go to window 31/32/<XX>. This is the window that has your registration number series. Mine was 8XXX so I went to window 31 which was serving 6000-9000
* The person at the counter will review your docs and write the cost. Mine was 150 (100 for HT removal and 50 for shipping)
* Go back to window 15 (not 15A) this is the one on the left
* Give the person the docs and the cash and he will give you a receipt.
* Thats you are done!

Time taken: 40 mins

What I did wrong and other notes:

* Did not carry a pen and stapler/glue
* Stood in line at 15 and then spoke to enquiry
* Agents will hound you very subtly. Be polite and keep walking
* 90% is in the local language but not a huge barrier
* Carry change (100, 50, 20, 10, 5) - 5 is wheeler parking

Thanks to this forum again. Now the wait begins for the RC to be delivered.

I completed the hypothecation removal process yesterday at Koramangala RTO. Thought of putting my experience here. First of all, there will not be any penalty for initiating the process late. I did this after 3 years of completing my loan. Obviously the NOC expired, so I requested for a fresh NOC, form 35 from Citibank.

Hi Guys,
I require to get my hypothication cleared from the RC book (KA 53 - KR Puram, Bangalore). Pardon me for this silly question. Form-35 that is being discussed here is the one from the link -https://vahan.nic.in/nrservices/faces/forms/form35.pdf? Please let me know. Thank you.
